Mount Lindesay Highway Upgrade:
South Maclean Safety Improvements

The project scope included the following:

• complex, staged traffic management on the Mount Lindesay Highway and adjacent local road networks
• construction of over 47,000 square metres of pavements
• placement of over 3,000 tonnes of heavy-duty dense-grade asphalt
• installation of road signage and street furniture
• reconstruction of Crest Road and Mount Lindesay Highway intersection
• community engagement during works and enabling a dialogue during construction to facilitate property access, minimise disruption to public transport services, re-construction of private property access, and project progress
• construction of a new signalised intersection at Stockleigh Road and Mount Lindesay Highway intersection including the installation of over 29 traffic signal lanterns.
• closure of highway access to Tully Memorial Park from the Mount Lindesay Highway and construct new access via Beryl Parade
• closure of Maclean Street and Casuarina Road access from the Mount Lindesay Highway.

The South Maclean project included the upgrade of Mount Lindesay Highway intersections at Stockleigh Road and Crest Road.

The scope of work involved the installation of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), traffic signals, and the intricate traffic management plans to ensure that the Mount Lindesay Highway and Stockleigh Road remained opened to traffic throughout construction.

Temporary road and pavement construction methods were employed to facilitate traffic management required for the successful completion of this project while minimising disruptions to the existing road network.

The upgrade featured the construction of heavy-duty asphalt pavements with bound base and subbase materials, deep lift asphalt applications, and unbound pavement construction techniques.
